English Class Thursdays at 11:30 am - RESTARTS AFTER EASTER HOLIDAY
Board Games Group The next one is at 10:00 am on Saturday 18 April in St. Paul's Community Room, and then every third Saturday of the month. Bring a game to play, or play some one else's. Play something that you know or something new. Bring your friends or come alone! All ages welcome.
